Helena Judge Mike Menahan issued a temporary restraining order blocking a new Montana law that would set viability at 24 weeks and require an ultrasound before abortion. The bill, signed by Gov. Greg Gianforte, would allow abortions only by a physician or physician assistant with an exception for the mother's life. The restraining order follows a lawsuit filed the day after the bill was signed.
